Strategic summit followup

Summary has been published.

Short executive discussion of one item from the follow upNo motions, no actions

Communications and marketing follow up. Paul proposed we think of the roles as messaging and positioning. This might be a more useful split than communications/marketing. This is really just an idea to ponder, not yet a proposal to the board. A communications hangout that Christina’s announced will be a better place to discuss the idea.

The P5 launch team had a hangout this week. Marketing, communications, release team, installer team, doc team, training team all involved.

Sponsorship forms and procedures

Kim has updated the plone.org/donate forms. Criteria for each category is now clear, along with acknowledgement promises.

We do need someone to take overall responsibility for maintaining listings. Kim was drafted to be that person.

We’ve agreed in the past that we don’t want sponsorships from organizations that have nothing to do with Plone. No disagreement on that. We’re not selling ads.

General agreement that the FTEs referred to are FTE’s that are primarily involved with Plone.

EuroPython preparation update

We expect to have a substantial booth. Also a poster session. Talks are being voted upon.

Paul has been in touch with Irene and Massimo about poster preparation. Ideas are under discussion for having it be non-technical, emphasizing grace, community, power. Meant to get a conversation going. Not yet decided.
